124: 5 TIPS TO GET THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS WITHOUT TRIGGERING YOUR MONEY BLOCKS (TOO MUCH)

Hello gorgeous and welcome to today's episode. I'm your host, Genecia Alloura. Today I want to share with you the five tips to get through the holidays without triggering your money blocks or triggering too much of your money blocks.

Five things to do to make sure your money blocks aren't triggered.

1. Have a kind response

(02:22-03:27) A go-to response. When your family asks you about potentially triggering topics. This can apply to questions about your business, so it pays to be prepared a hit of the time. Now you might have someone in your family who constantly ask you, how is your business doing right now or what are you doing for business again? Or do you mean you change another business? Are you qualified to even do this and they make you feel like shit? Here's the thing, you don't have to tell them about the ins and out of your business. You don't have to tell them how many clients you have, how much they pay you. You don't have to tell them anything if you don't want to. Here's a really simple go-to response. It can be something like, hey, it's doing great. Thanks so much for asking. Well, there's a lot of things happening. I'm very excited. Thanks so much for your concern. As simple as that.
2. Change the subject

(05:29-05:37) Get really good at changing subjects. Now, this is what we call in NLP called a pattern interrupt. (05:57-06:34)

Instead of answering all the business questions, all your money or your bankruptcy or your debt or anything at all that makes you feel stressed. You know what? Get good at changing subjects and you can say, oh, I love this Steamboat that you have just made. What's in it? Yeah, I love this so bad. What ingredients do you use? Completely bypass what they have just asked you or yeah, it's doing great. What about you? What's new about you? New on your side? What's going on with you?
3. Be clear about what you want.
(07:29-08:03) If presence triggers you, then there are a couple of ways around it. You could just freak out, ask people, what do you want for your present or tell people what exactly you want for your present. Direct them. Don't just assume and don't make it a test of their love or their love language, and then blame them later. Okay, well, if they love me, my parents will finally get me the present I love. No, no, don't test them. Just tell them what you want. Don't worry about if people don't buy you the right stuff, just tell them.
4. Don't keep presents you don't like.
(09:16-09:45) If you get presents you don't like and it does trigger all memories, you don't have to keep them. You can say thank you graciously, but you do not have to keep them. You can go straight from your house and drop it off at the charity store. Someone else is going to love that. If you get presents a bit before the holiday season or festive season and you open them and you don't like it, you rewrap them and donate to charity.
5. EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique or tapping.

(11:30-12:08) This was a technique I learned in 2000 and I think 2008, and I love it so much. It's like my secret weapon when I'm going through emotional trenches and emotional laws. So if you are in your family house and you're getting triggered, go into the bathroom and do a little bit of tapping. Okay, now I would know that you will say even though I have these feelings, even though my family are annoying, even though nobody loves me and buys me presents that I like, I deeply and completely love and I set you myself. So say that to yourself.

Key Takeaways:

1. Have a kind response.
